What is wrong
Custom Truck And Body Works (Custom Truck) is recalling one 2016 Ford F550 vehicle and one 2018 International 4000 vehicle equipped with 7x9 combination LED Stop-Tail-Turn reverse lights. The lights may be too bright, exceeding the maximum light output allowed which may adversely affect the vision of drivers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
What can happen
The excessive brightness may affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Custom Truck has notified owners, and the light manufacturer, ECCO, will provide a lens filter to dim the light, free of charge. The recall began February 16, 2021. Owners may contact Custom Truck customer service at 1-888-712-2962.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
